bfi & TATE: Georges Franju Shorts
| |
La Première Nuit 1949 |
First known for making disturbing documentaries that freely intermingled stark realism with a surrealistic edge, Georges Franju went on to use similar techniques for several haunting feature films.
Programme duration 65’
Le Sang des Bêtes (Georges Franju, France 1949, 22’)
This cool, unflinching look at the brutal workings of a Paris slaughterhouse established Franju as a moralist of rare integrity.
Hotel des Invalides (Georges Franju, France 1951, 21’)
This ferociously anti-militarist statement is a devastating subversion of our normal conceptions of reality.
La Première Nuit (Georges Franju, France 1957, 21’)
A poetic, dream-like account of a young boy’s nighttime search for his girlfriend in the Paris Metro.
Tate Modern, Starr Auditorium
